CentOS 7.5 image running on linode.

unbound running on localhost.

Have to use a cron job once a minute to keep /etc/resolv.conf using the
localhost for name resolution - whenever NetworkManager gets restarted
(usually only a system boot) it gets over-written.

It seems every distro has a different way of preventing NetworkManager
from replacing that file.

I found instructions for Fedora that said create
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/no-dns.conf containing

[main]
dns=none

That doesn't seem to have any effect.

Poking around, I find a file on boot seems to be created called

/var/run/Netwo

I'm trying to craft an ldap search filter for use with
ldap_user_search_base in sssd.conf which is using Actice Directory (AD)

The filter looks for users that are memberOf a particular group -
however, the group name start with a '#' character - i.e.

Hi Folks,

I've done a bit of work on centpkg, now that we have a testbed at
git.stg.centos.org. The goal here is to allow centpkg and fedpkg
(Fedora's site) to both understand the different formats.

Everyone,

I am working on a module with the use of pdktk that merges *.fdf data files with a *.pdf
file for a filled out pdf form. I have the need to add a signature to the pdf form. Do
any of you know of a way to make this happen?

Thanks much!!!

Hi all!

I have a new-to-me (i.e., used) laptop and am having a problem making
the touchpad behave.

It is an old HP Elitebook 8530p, and I THINK it has a synaptics
touchpad. But I don't remember how to get more specifics than that
on Linux, lspci, lsusb and lshw don't tell me anything helpful.
lsmod doesn't list anything containing "syn" or "synaptics".

Anyway, I've installed C7 on the laptop and pretty much everything
works just as I expect it to, but even though I configure the touchpad
for two-finger-scrolling, it simply won't do it.

I need to be able to temporarily cut off the source of network slowdowns.

What I used to do:
Router with 2 x NICs running slackware 14.
Execute iptraf-ng, choose IP Network Monitor and sort by Byte Count.
The sorted screen always seemed a bit confusing but I could usually
pluck a couple of IP addresses with racing byte counts and cut all
traffic to them using an iptables rule.
Then if I wanted to identify the computer or device, I’d go into the
dhcpd.leases file and look for the ip address and the corresponding
device hostname.
It was a bit of a pain, but it worked.

Now:
Router with 2 x NIC’

I'm trying to use Evolution on the latest CentOS 7.

Whenever I try to receive or send mail, there's always a 90-second
delay before the connection works. Since the delay is always exactly
90 seconds, I think I may be waiting for something to time out.

Perhaps this is a clue. My address is <a href="mailto: ... at example dot com"> ... at example dot com</a>. I have to log
in to pop.example.com or imap.example.com as user, not as
<a href="mailto: ... at example dot com"> ... at example dot com</a>. Evolution seems to always try to connect as
<a href="mailto: ... at pop dot example.com"> ... at pop dot example.com</a> or <a href="mailto: ... at imap dot example.com"> ... at imap dot example.com</a>. I can't get it to try
to connect as user.

With a html file on my (Mate) desktop I would like to be able to
right-click on it and select "open with" and have it load into elinks.

But I haven't yet figured out the magic command line that I need for
this to happen.

gnome-terminal --command="elinks %s"

That loads elinks but doesn't load the html file into it.

gnome-terminal --command="cat %s | elinks" doesn't work either.

Dear All,

I know it is an oxymoron: good free ... service ;-)

Still, can someone recommend good free email service?

I definitely will not go with google, Microsoft, Apple.

Hi,

Does anyone know if they changed the way that desktop files for apps work?

It seams that inside your start script you can no longer change your
scripts directory.

Does it now call some form of restricted shell?

Anyone know where you can track these changes?

Thanks

I have configured yum to use a proxy via the yum.conf file by adding:

proxy=http://myproxy.com:8080/

What I noticed when running yum check-up date is that some requests are
going through the proxy while the system seems to be trying to resolve the
domains of other hosts in the repo and trying to establish direct
connections to them instead of going through the proxy.

Can anyone explain this behavior?

Hi all!

I just got a new (to me) used laptop (HP EliteBook 8530p) and find that
it has a fingerprint reader.

Wondering if it could be made to work for me (Centos-7) I did a lot
of googling (well, actually duck-duck-go-ing) and found a ton of hits
on either setting it up in Windoze, or others wondering if it can be
used in Linux.

I have and old dump format backup done under fedora 7 which is stored on
disk and has an sha256sum file that indicates there are no data errors
in the backup file.  When I try to read the file with restore under
CentOS 6,  I get the following error:

cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)

restore tvf u1_l0_04-29-09_md1.dump Verify tape and initialize maps
Input is from a local file/pipe
Checksum error 20311110402, inode 0 file (null)
restore: Tape is not a dump tape

I have another copy of the backup on another disk with the same checksum
and it gets the same error as well.

The videos from the recent #CentOSDojo at #CERN are now available on the
CentOS YouTube channel. If you have time for only one, be sure to watch
the first video, which talks about the challenges that CERN has with the
enormous amount of data they produce every day in the LHC.

Also recommended, Fabian's discussion of the coming (and already in
place!) changes to the CentOS Git infrastructure.

Red Hat recently shipped python-jwt in

This went into the "High Availability" and "Resilient Storage" add-ons
of RHEL, not the usual RHEL Base/Optional/Extras.

I was wondering why CentOS has this package in its base repositories
now. Does CentOS 7 include RHEL's HA addon or the Resilient Storage
addon?

Good morning from Singapore,

This is of paramount importance. Would Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, and Fedora remain open source/free software after IBM buys Red Hat for $34 Billion?

Hi,

We are working with a system configure to boot using tboot

Using grub2 and multiboot2, we have grub2 booting tboot and then booting centos.

Grub2 fully supports this scenario and it works fine.

The problem we have is that some centos packages use grubby to modify the boot configuration / boot parameters. Grubby does not appear to have any support for this, and so all invocations of grubby end up doing nothing and fail silently.

Question is, would you know if there is any plan to add support for multiboot2 in an upcoming version of grubby?

Thanks,

Paul-Emile

I enable debug of systemd-udevd by changing guest's /etc/udev/udev.conf to this:
udev_log="debug"
and regenerate initramfs. Then, we can get more message about this issue.
